OVERVIEW:

Okra should be sown late in the spring or early summer when the ground is warm.
Okra should then be thinned so the plants are spaced 12 to 18 inches apart. Okra is a tall and attractive plant,
okra grows very quickly and should be harvested frequently while it is still tender.
Harvesting every few days will prevent toughness. Okra is great vegetable fried, or in stews and gumbos.

PROPAGATION / SOWING OF OKRA:

Soak okra seeds in warm water for twenty-four hours before planting and keep the soil temperature
at 24ºC (75°F)or above. Soil should be fertile and high in potash with a pH of 6.0-6.8.
Sow okra ¼” deep in flats 7-8 weeks before transplanting. Germination may take up to two weeks.
